ICSI or conventional IVF for non-severe male factor?

What was investigated and what was found?

ICSI did not significantly improve live birth after first transfer over conventional IVF. These results do not directly apply to severe male factor or previous poor fertilization.

Interpreting the findings

Results apply to the enrolled population and tested protocols; they are not a personal success prediction.

How can you prepare for a consultation?

Bring semen analyses, any DNA-fragmentation or urology/andrology reports, and previous fertilization results. Findings from both partners should guide discussion of IVF or ICSI planning.
